DOG POI80NER GETS
IN HI8 DIRTY WORK.
The ornerlest skunk that crawls
struck Enterprise in the course of
bis Blimy wanderings a few days ago,
and In consequence a dozen or more
togs nearly every one of them valu
able, have gone to dog-heaven by the
strychnine route. Several good sheep
dogs, others valued as watch dogs,
and even the little boy's pet poodles
and Bobbins for
and terriers hsye gotten hold of the
poison thtit wah scattered promis
cuously around. .'
If the object was to get rid or
worthless cur9, it was the wrong
. tn en about it. as it is a strange
but -proven fact that the half-starved
nobody's dog rarely gets the poison.
But valuable dogs always do, as In
..ise, and the poisoner had bet
ter keep shady as several owners of
poisoned dogs are mad enough to
wreck summary vengeance on him.
Here are two antidotes for strych
aine poisoning; i
As soon as the dog shows symp
toms of poisoning give him a strong
solution of permanganate of potash
and water. !,
Make the dog swallow tobacco,
.vuich will vomit him, then give
chloral hydrate and potassium bro

Tells Of Survey
s
. Down Snake River
Member of Crew Cescribes Route
of Railway Extension from
. Huntington.
The folbwlng description of the
surveying of the. Sna'r.e river rall-
oad line, from the Lewlston Tribune,
le first that has been published,
trill be of tnte.eit to many people
In this county;
'Charles Kress, Jr., who was with
Jne of the engmearmg crews that
nade the survey for the Huntington
oad down the Snake river, yesterday
;ave a Tribune reporter Interesting
information relative to the line. Kress
worked with Engineer Stacy's crew
on that section , of the line extend-
ng from Homeiteid to Pittsburg
landing, through what Is known as 1
he Walled canyon section of river,
iHomestead U the point of location of
.he mines to which the present sec
tion of the roid la being built and
viilch section is rapidly nearlng com
p'etlon. "The preliminary survey and loca
:lon survey for Uia entire road from
Iuntington to this point wore made
it the same time. The section to
rlomes'.ead was handled Ly Engineer
iorrls, that from Home.itead to Pitts
burg landing by Engineer Stacy and
uldo from a small section thiB side
jf Pittsburg the remainder of the
work was handled by Engineer Mc
jDiiough. As Mr. Kress did not work
with the McDonojch crew, he has
io uirect Information on the matter
.jjt he understood the location survey
yas completed by McDonotigh to
Asotin or Clarkston. He states that
all the work do.ie was of the most
Jiorough character and that the line
s now ready for crass-section work
ong the entire instance so soon ai
the company might decide to place
uousiruction forces on the section
nlow Home'Jtead.
"The survey for the line was made
during the seisin of 1900 andl907,
toie partlas being in the field for
fifteen months. The work along the
canyons wa very hazardous and the
crew with which Mr. Kress was en
gaged lost one man. At points it
was necessary to lower mon over the
cliffs with ropts to make It possible
(to do the Instrument worl: necessary.
The road Is lo :ate;l about firteen ten
above extreme hlh wt-ter mam.
Between Homestead and Pittsburg
Inndlne the dron in the river Is only
about fourtesn feet to the mile, and
,w Ideal grade ha be?T secured for
i.he road the entire distance.
those two points there are six tun
nels, ranging tn longth from fiOO to
swin fejt Practically all the dis
tance the road win nave to be blasted
out of sjlld tod:, and the engmeo-s
oitiir.nto thnt some of the work
would cost $100,000 a mile, while the
average for the entire line woum
enual at least $50,000. Mr. Kress
states that his Information la that
the length of the line from Hunting
ton to thl point Is about 200 mile,
so the cost would be approximately
$1 '..000,000.
"Mr. Krew tat:d that It was tne
view of all the engineers that ths
Mime-stead section would never have
been started except for the fact that
the decision had benn reached to
build tha entire line, and the char
acter of the work done, in rushing
the location survey, later sustained
this view.
